Pumpkin Crisp

0.0 from 0 votes

If you love apple crisps or pumpkin pie, you’re going to love this pumpkin crisp! Pumpkin crisp is a warm, cozy dessert made with a spiced pumpkin filling baked beneath a buttery, crunchy topping of sugar, oats, flour, butter and cinnamon. As it cooks, the edges caramelize and the crumble turns golden, creating a comforting fall treat that’s perfectly finished with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

When you think of Fall desserts, pumpkin pie jumps to the front. This recipe is a twist on that traditional dish. Instead of nestling the pumpkin pie filling on top of the pie crust, the pie filling is the base, and it’s covered with a buttery, crunchy, semi-sweet topping.

Why We Love This Pumpkin Crisp Recipe

  • It’s delicious and easy to make.
  • Packed with warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, and tastes like the essence of fall in every bite.
  • I don’t have to fool with a pie crust. Just whip together the filling, place it in my baking dish and top it with the crumb topping.
  • It’s tastes great with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.
  • When I’m rushed for time, I can prepare the crisp ahead.
  • Everyone loves it!

Tips For Making Pumpkin Crisp

Baking Dish: Use can use a 12 inch cast iron skillet, 12 inch round casserole dish, or 9×9 casserole dish.

Once the oven is warm, sprinkle the streusel on top and bake as directed.
